Find the velocity of a truck that travels 75 miles north in 2.5 hours?

Speed = Distance divided by Time.
So, speed = 75 miles divided by 2.5 hours = 75 / 2.5 = 30 miles per hour.
Velocity is speed and direction, so the velocity is 30 mph Northbound.

What is the velocity of amissile tha travels north 8000 meters in 10.12 seconds?
Velocity = 790.514 m/s North (rounded)The idea is to divide the distance by the time.
What is the average velocity of an object that travels 6 meters north in 2 seconds and then travels 3 meters east in 1 second?
3.00 m/s
What is resultant velocity of the plane if a plane travels 100 km per hour to the north with a tailwind wind of 25 km per hour towards the north?
The resultant velocity of a plane is 125 km/hr.
Is six miles per hour per second north an example of velocity?
We're not completely sure what you mean by "per hour per second". Going just by what we see in the question, it's an acceleration, not a velocity. "Six miles per hour north" would be a velocity.
A bus travels 10 miles south 4 miles west 2 miles north and 1 mile west Finally it goes 8 miles north how many miles is the bus from the starting point?
exacly 25
What is the velocity of a car that travels 260 miles in 4 hours driving to the northeast?
Divide the distance by the time to get the speed. The direction, of course, is north-east.
What is the velocity of an car that travels 50 miles north turns around and travels 50 miles south in 5 hours Question 6 options 0 2 mph south 5 mph south 25 mph north?
Velocity is speed and direction. The velocity would be zero because the 50 miles N cancel the 50 miles S. The speed is 100 mi/5 h = 20 mph.
A car travels 100 miles east in 2 hours and 30 miles north in one hour. What is the average speed of the car?
average velocity = miles/hours = (100 + 30)/(2 + 1) = 130/3 ≈ 43.33 miles/hour
What is the speed and velocity of 15 miles north 25 miles south driven in 2 hours?
Average speed = Total Distance/Total Time = (15+25)/2 = 40/2 = 20 miles per hour. Velocity (due North) = Total NET distance North/Total Time = (15-25)/2 = -10/2 = -5 miles per hour or, velocity due South = 5 miles per hour.
What is the difference between speed and velocity is that velocity?
Velocity is speed and its direction. "30 miles per hour" is a speed. "30 miles per hour north" is a velocity". "30 miles per hour north" and "30 miles per hour south" are identical speeds but different velocities.
Can speed equal velocity?
Speed is the size of velocity. But velocity also has a direction. "30 miles per hour" is speed. "30 miles per hour north" is velocity.
What is the velocity of amissile tha travels north 8000 meters in 10.12 seconds?
Velocity = 790.514 m/s North (rounded)The idea is to divide the distance by the time.
When you say that a race car travels north at 100km per hour are you talking about velocity?
Yes. Velocity is a vector and therefore requires magnitude and direction: Magnitude: 100 kph Direction: North
A boat travels due east for a distance of 15 miles. It then travels due north for distace of 20 miles. How many miles is the boat from it's starting point?
25 miles.
What is the average velocity of an object that travels 6 meters north in 2 seconds and then travels 3 meters east in 1 second?
3.00 m/s
The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity include?
Speed is a scalar and velocity is a vector. A scalar only has magnitude while a vector has magnitude and direction. Example: If you are traveling north at 65 miles an hour your speed is 65 miles an hour, your velocity is 65 miles an hour north. It gets a little more complicated. Speed = distance (a scalar)/time Velocity = Displacement (vector)/time Example: If you run 5 miles in an hour left and then 5 miles in a hour right your speed is 10 miles/2 hours = 5 miles an hour. However, since you end up in the same exact location as where you started your displacement is zero making your velocity zero as well. Think of it this way; since velocity is a vector it requires a direction if i ended up exactly where I started I have no direction, thus velocity must be zero. One more example to clarify: If you ran 6 miles right and 4 miles left in 2 hours, your speed will be 5 miles an hour (10/2=5) your velocity would be 1 mile an hour to the right, since displacement is 2 miles to the right (6 to right - 4 to left = 2 to right) and the time is 2 hours displacement/time = velocity; 2 to the right/2 = 1 mile to the right per hour.
What is the average speed of a boat if it travels 16 miles due north in 2 hours and 24 miles due west in 2 hours?
10 miles per hour speed is not a vector quantity, therefore direction does not matter. 16 miles/ 2 hours=8 mph 24 miles/ 2 hours=12 mph (8+12)/2=10 mph average
